Clearwater Forest is the first high-volume chip to be fabbed on the Intel 18A process node.

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has said he has bet the entire company on it.

The chip family is critical for Intel 's products and for its Intel Foundry subsidiary to become a chipmaker for other companies.

Intel also unveiled its latest Xeon 6 Granite Rapids data center chips at the event.

All signs point to Intel ’s 18A being a healthy, production-class node.

TSMC has risen to be the predominant leading-edge chipmaker for the entire world.

If Intel can't punch these chips out in high volume or is beset by delays, we could be looking at a future that doesn't include an Intel that resembles its current form.
